Instructions for photo restoration:
1. Log into Photo1 (password: silvergel)

2. Open Safari

3. Go to rhhsphoto1cecil.blogspot.com
4. Read the latest entry and click on the original boxer image, so it is larger, drag this to the desktop (If your computer does not hook
up to the internet, the boxer image is on your desktop)

5. Open Photoshop or (look in dock below, or in Hard Drive, under Applications)

6. Go to File>Open, Desktop>boxer_original.jpg (You can also just drag the large image into Photoshop)
7. Now that it is opened let’s go ahead and save it. Go to File>Save As, retitle it your last name_boxer. Save it to the desktop now or
plug in your USB drive and save it there. Remember, as you work occasionally save your work (Command + S).
8. It has been scanned in color, though originally black and white (as it aged it has yellowed). Go to Image>Mode>Grayscale
9. Now, lets crop out what we don’t want. Find the Crop tool (C) and select the area of the image you want to keep. Then click enter
to keep it.
10. Now, lets adjust the values. Go to Image>Adjustments>Brightness/Contrast. You can slide the contrast and brightness up and
down. Make sure preview is checked so you can see your changes. Move slowly, remember your darkroom experience, and think
about what kind of image you want (range of values, deep blacks, bright whites all with details). Then click OK.
11. At this point if you ever need to undo something you can go to Edit>Undo (Command + Z), this will step back one step, if you
need to go back further you can Edit>Step Backwards (Option + Command +Z), this you can use this to step as far back as you
need.
12. Now let’s try some restoration! What tool could you use to remove dust or small scratches? Try the Heal Tool (J), or the Stamp Tool
(S); hold the icon down to reveal other aspects of the tool. See what works and looks good or what doesn’t work and looks fake or
unrealistic. As you work try changing the brush size (at the top toolbar) to increase accuracy. Remember you can undo, just save
before you try something.
13. To get a closer look you can zoom in or out by View>Zoom In/Zoom Out (Command & +/-). You can move around the image by
moving the red square in the Navigator window at the top right of the screen.
14. Save your work! Then quit everything and log out.
